A question about Auto-trash by Keyword

I'm not clear on if I use two words if it will only trash those words when used in combination, or it if it will trash any use of either word.

For example; "American Sniper"

Will that only trash conversations which have both words in the title, or will it thrash any discussion which has American and/or sniper as well?

If this is the wrong forum to ask this, just let me know and I'll delete.

It is a substring search; it catches longer partial words as well as whole words.

You answered my question perfectly. I assumed that was the case, but wasn't sure enough to use it yet.
